Hey guys, I just bought a black, 6spd, 01.5 S4 with 77k miles. Only modifications that I know of (because it says AWE Tuning on the window) are the RS4 grille and new DV's. It's in fairly good condition but needs brakes, tires, and pulls 3 codes.

17704 P1296 Cooling System Malfunction

17867 P1459 Exhaust gas temperature sesor 2 range/performance

17539 P1131 Bank2-Sesor1 Internal Resistance too high

We erased the codes to see if the CEL comes on again (which it did) so I'll pull the codes again next time I'm at work. Can you tell me if these are easy fixes that my shop can do or if I'll need special tools, pull the motor, or something extreme that we won't want to do at work?

On the subject of brakes, instead of buying from the dealer I looked at AWE and ECS. The Brake Overhaul Kit from AWE seems a little expensive and the ECS rotors seem "better for the money", but I have no experience with either so any input would be nice. I'm not looking for fancy upgrades, just something basically stock (unless there is an upgrade cheaper then stock )

Anyway, I have been reading as much as I can about these cars and this forum has given me a lot of information, thanks everyone.
